Exactly, this nation is divided and they keep it divided by trying to lie to people or show them only what they want to see to keep them one sided.
I have not been pleased with any of the past/current 5 presidents. Not one of them have done anything great for our society.
4 screwed up our economy ( Bush, Bush jr., Regan, Obama ), and one tried to fix the economy but caught up in scandals ( Clinton ).
Then you have a Congress that needs to be totally revamped. For it is not for the people.
Christianity is dying in America because we are being forced to accept and live by other peoples standards.
When Congress threatens to shut government down and thereby affect the electorate in the worst ways, we've got a problem with communications. The Legislative branch apparently imagines they rule the nation as totalitarians, rather than as representatives of the people serving at our pleasure when we cast our vote and trust to let them in that office to represent us. And our best interests.
The cliquish attitude of party members who regress to a playground level so as to say what amounts to; we don't like you, so we're taking the ball and going home!
Is not an example of fit leadership. Each party is diametrically opposed to the other. And in that tug-o-war the people are the one's that suffer regardless of which side gets pulled across the line the most.
Now, we have those aligned to party interests and their hope of being career politicians in office, that are abandoning moral principles at the behest of the immoral and their party platform that broadcasts political correctness is achieved through abdication of morals, common sense, and decency.
The tide is turning from the righteous road to the gutter trail. And our elected officials are still getting paid, and re-elected, as they stamp the way through the muck and push through in the gutter to the deeper depths. While those who try to lead the throng up and out of the trench are labeled, bigot and intolerant, for their trouble.
But the division helps those who would lead this nation straight into the pit. Because if we are kept apart due to the manufactured differences we're told divide us, we'll never unite on common ground and through the creeps out.
The forefathers of this nation, being where they came from and the government and oligarch climate that existed there, should have foreseen what would bode for the future if they didn't put term limits on all three branches of government from the beginning.
As it is, the Legislative now has to vote by 2/3rds majority to limit themselves and amend the constitution.
I see that happening. When we have Senators that retire or die near the century mark in age, it's a vote that's sure to come any day now.
Christianity is dying in America because it is easier to be lazy and depraved and pander to the evil that argues it has a right to be proud and free, rather than fight and maintain a standard that continues to defend morality with the retort: NO! No, it does not!
Depravity and immorality are not things that need to be tolerated.
We don't have to fight for tolerance unless it is something that is otherwise intolerable. That's when the standard flies that demands tolerance. When what is demanding a right to be proud in America is not otherwise tolerable. And when morality is called bigotry, we've got a very serious schism in comprehension skills in America.
Because indecency is so much easier to express. Living with character takes work! Some people are just lazy.
